Chapter 374: It's Already Quite Good
Due to Yingzhou's physique, and the fact that he had revealed his face in the footage, it led to Yingzhou being spotted by some residents very quickly.
"It's great to see that you are all safe and sound. This meeting is a bit rushed; let's catch up properly next time we meet."
Bai Tao, having escaped from Yingzhou's large hand, looked up at the now towering Yingzhou and nodded solemnly in reply.
"Alright, then I'll take Su Miao back first."
Bai Tao left the street with Su Miao. Su Miao sensed that Bai Tao's palms were already sweating from nervousness, so she asked.
"What's wrong? Your hands are sweating."
Hearing Su Miao say this, Bai Tao smiled, shook his head, and said.
"It's nothing, just feeling a bit sentimental. That guy Yingzhou has completely embarked on a path entirely different from ours. It's hard to imagine that I was once friends with such an existence."
Hearing Bai Tao's sentiment, Su Miao gripped Bai Tao's hand with her left hand and said.
"But Yingzhou hasn't become distant with you; it's you who feels a bit held back."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Bai Tao's mouth as he looked at Su Miao's wheat-colored cheeks.
"It's hard to put into words, but perhaps I just haven't adjusted to Yingzhou's transformation yet."
"True. Besides, you're not doing too badly yourself. By the way, when did Yingzhou have a child? How come I haven't heard of it?"
After pondering for a moment, Bai Tao said hesitantly.
"I'm not sure either. Maybe it was just a joke?"
On the other side, Yingzhou returned to the Training Camp, found a warehouse used for storing weapons, and said to the Sergeant on patrol at the entrance.
"Don't let anyone near here until I come out."
"Yes! Emperor!"
Arriving inside the warehouse, Yingzhou tapped the System Panel, watching the time on it decrease bit by bit until it hit zero, at which point a notification sound from the system reached his ears.
"System upgrade complete. Please view the new functions yourself, Host."
Yingzhou couldn't wait to open the System Panel and discovered a new module had been added.
【State Church: (The content is to be decided by the Host. Once determined, the summoned State Church personnel will incorporate the Host's content into their preaching.)】
Seeing this, Yingzhou raised an eyebrow and slowly let out a breath.
Fortunately, if it were a pre-determined State Church, he would really have to consider whether or not to use this module; after all, if one couldn't grasp this thing, the direction would go astray.
"System, does this State Church have anything to do with the Faith Value I generated from people believing in me before?"
"The appearance of the State Church is to provide those who believe in the Host with a more accurate direction, letting those who believe in the Host know what it is they are believing in.
Since the Host has made a choice, the content of the State Church should naturally be filled in by the Host. You only need to write out the general content, and this system will help the Host resolve the details."
After hearing the system's words, Yingzhou slowly nodded and said.
"In other words, the people who believe in me now each have different concepts, which is very likely to cause chaos. I must point out a direction so that those who believe in me won't cause trouble due to differences in their respective beliefs."
"That is correct, and the Faith Value generated this way will allow the Host to turn danger into safety at critical moments."
Yingzhou nodded. Looking at the State Church module, the scene he had encountered on that hill surfaced in his mind again. Having made a decision in his heart, Yingzhou entered the content he had thought through into the System Panel.
"I can't just copy it; that doesn't fit the current situation. I need to combine it with the status quo and make some changes. I must let those summoned know that the foundation of Human Civilization lies in the collective, not in any single individual. The concept of being people-centered must be firmly established.
Phew, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, but at least this is the best content I can think of for now."
After clicking confirm, the system's notification sound rang out again.
"State Church content completed. Subsequent summoned State Church-related personnel will act based on the Host's content. You can now draw for summoning permissions for relevant personnel in the Random Draw."
Hearing this, Yingzhou remembered he still had 3 chances for a Random Draw. He wondered what kind of permissions he would draw for himself?
Thinking of this, Yingzhou spoke without hesitation.
"System, draw directly. All in!"
"Consuming 3 Random Draw attempts, drawing now..."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Power Hammer."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining State Church Missionary summoning permission."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Chainsword."
Seeing the results of the draw, Yingzhou curiously opened the State Church module.
【State Church.】
【Summonable Personnel: 100 Missionaries.】
Yingzhou attempted to use Faith Value to summon a missionary. He saw a missionary dressed in red robes, wrapping their entire body, appear before him. Upon seeing Yingzhou, this missionary knelt on the ground in excitement and said in an agitated tone.
"Greetings, Emperor!"
Yingzhou frowned, feeling that something was not quite right, so he asked.
"Tell me, if I send you out to preach, how will you spread these ideas?"
The missionary dared not look up and said with their head bowed.
"The Emperor is the hope of Human Civilization. The Emperor treats every Human equally. Rejoice! Even in the darkness, the Emperor will lead Humans toward the light!
Unite! Let us shout and cheer for the Emperor!
Because in the Emperor's eyes, the people are the driving force of his progress!
For the Emperor, for Human Civilization!"
The more the missionary spoke, the more excited they became, their body trembling uncontrollably.
Hearing the missionary's remarks, Yingzhou only felt a headache coming on and asked the system in his heart.
"System, is this the missionary that incorporated my content?"
"Host, this is already quite good. At least they have conveyed your meaning."
"Big brother, do you want to look at what they are saying? Although it does indeed contain the meaning I wanted to express, but, can this really convey it...?"
"Isn't it enough that it's conveyed? Host, don't have such high requirements. If you heard those who didn't accept your meaning, you would know that they are already quite good as they are now."
Yingzhou's mouth twitched as he looked at the missionary kneeling on the ground, no longer speaking.
His meaning did indeed align with his own previous thoughts, but he still felt something was strange somewhere; was this really okay?
However, after thinking for a long time, Yingzhou could not come up with a better solution and could only let out a soft sigh.
"This is the only way for now."
After putting this missionary away, Yingzhou suddenly asked.
"Right, the Grey Knights I summoned before seemed to have their psychic powers suppressed; did this upgrade solve that problem?"
"Replying to the host, you cannot solve this problem at present, so stop thinking about it and strive to lead Human Civilization toward the light!"
Yo! It feels like this system isn't as annoying as it used to be after the upgrade.
